Countdown begins: iGaming Studio Summit 2025 lands in Riga in two weeks
The iGaming Studio Summit 2025, set to take place in Riga, Latvia on August 6–7 at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Daugava Riga, is gearing up to be a pivotal event in the iGaming industry. Organised by Eventus International, this summit aims to bring together professionals from around the world to discuss, collaborate, and forge new connections in the ever-evolving gaming landscape.
Dainis Niedra, COO of Entain, will be one of the key voices at the summit, sharing insights on gamification, data strategy, and player-first thinking in iGaming. Niedra emphasises the importance of creating gamified ecosystems that are vibrant yet non-chaotic, rewarding without being manipulative. He believes that professional, thoughtful gamification can enhance player engagement and increase LTV, especially among low- and mid-value segments.
The summit will delve into how tools like AI personalisation, VR environments, and sophisticated data models are turning into hard results. Niedra encourages the industry to look beyond standard data points for retention strategies, focusing on unsuccessful or abandoned actions. He also stresses the importance of simplicity, personalisation, and localisation in meeting the evolving expectations of players influenced by mainstream entertainment.
The event will gather a diverse group of professionals such as studio heads, product managers, game designers, marketing executives, and industry veterans from notable companies. Attendees can expect deep dives into various topics, including building and retaining standout teams, new design playbooks, EU AI Act compliance, balancing growth with data security, and player trust.
The summit will explore how to create games that not only entertain, but outperform. It will focus on the studios building tomorrow’s gaming experiences, providing a unique opportunity for those determined to position their studio ahead of the next wave of innovation and meet the right industry leaders.
